I thought my weight problem was entirely due to the prednisone that I have been on for the past 3 yrs. My doctor said, this medicine does make you more hungry "but it doesn't choose what you put in your mouth". He was right, I am losing weight very well, even though I am still on prednisone. It was just an easy excuse for me.

Ok this sent me laughing! I was on the edge of a binge. Thanks for the help! I knew I could count on my favorite site to talk me out of binging! Now I am going to get a glass of water and an apple. LOL

Not that I listen to any of them when high fat - refined carbs are calling my name! :-(

The weight loss will follow - it always does.

No action is more fascinating that the
action of self-transformation. Nothing on

value.

~Vernon Howard

I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance,
to live so that which came to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom,
and that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.

~Dawna Markova

When you're stuck in a spiral,
to change all aspects of the spin
you only need to change one thing.

"You are but a traveler on a cosmic journey. You have stopped for a moment to encounter others, to meet, to love, to share. Your life is a little parenthesis in eternity."

"Begin taking action now, while being neurotic or imperfect, or a procrastinator or unhealthy or lazy or any other label by which you inaccurately describe yourself. Go ahead and be the best imperfect person you can be and get started on those things you want to accomplish before you die."
